It is almost a little over red I know, but not sure how to reduce it effectively from this point.
The original image was way off from over exposure and used the Adobe, not sRGB, color profile.
I'm still pleased with the results.
The improvements I saw were in the accuracy of Blacks are now black and whites have the proper brightness.
The original was over writen by mistake, so I used the next "original" image of the group,
since it was exposed the same way and of the same subject/scene.
I used a Spyder 3 Elite.
I had to run the wizard and then use the advanced functions to get the monitors brightness right.
I also needed to limit but not remove some ambient light in the room, in a very dark room it would not set the brightness right.
OK. Setting aside that the "Original Out Of Camera" is a different image, just remember monitor calibration is about consistency of representation between screen and print and/ or between different computer displays, not whether the colors are necessarily pleasing.

Well I hope that you see colors the same way I do, if you calibrate too.
That is the main reason I wanted to calibrate.

I also just recently calibrated my monitor with a spider 3 elite, very easy. Before my blacks were way off, too dark so I was missing loads of shadow detail, much better now though. Also, being one of the large percentage of males with less than perfect colour vision I'm always paranoid that what looks OK to me might look really bad to others so hopefully calibrating will help there as well, or maybe not
Oh yes, nearly forgot, nice images, that's a huge colour shift in the stand from the before and after shots.
